On some cars(volkswagon Passat for example) If you disconnect the battery then the computer will lose all of the settings and will go into limp-in mode. The car will have little power and a top speed of only about 30 miles per hour. The function of limp-in mode is to get you to a place that can repair the car but the car is barely driveable.

There are several ways, one you could try turning the car on and off, many times this will cure it. If it doesn't, drive the car around for a bit and so long as the problem that caused it to go into limp mode disappears then when you turn the car off and on once again, limp mode will also disappear. The last resort is a hard reset. Disconnect the negative battery terminal and touch it to the positive terminal and this will reset and clear the code.
